Moera was home to the Hutt Park Raceway from the 1860s, until Harness and Greyhound racing ceased at the park in 2003, The 12 Hectare park area has since been established as a sports and recreation ground, including a 7 court indoor sports centre and indoor childrens playground.
The park lies between the southern industrial area of Lower Hutt and the residential suburb of Moera and is bounded by the Waiwhetu Stream, Gracefield railway line and Randwick Road.
A number of neighbouring facilities, sites and properties are complementary to the park. These include private commercial properties between Seaview Road and the Waiwhetu Stream, the Seaview Urupa, and walkways that link to the Hutt River and Waiwhetu Stream.

—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
